Richardson Laid To Rest

Family members shared a final farewell to Natasha Richardson at her funeral service on Sunday in the New York town where she wed Liam Neeson.

The actress tragically died after a fall while skiing on the slopes of Mont Tremblant in Montreal, Canada, on March 16 that left her with a serious brain injury.

She was flown to New York by her husband Neeson on Tuesday where relatives, including her actress mother Vanessa Redgrave and sister Joely Richardson, stayed by her bedside until her life support machine was switched off on Wednesday. She died hours later, at age 45.

The actress’ mahogany casket, marked on its side with an Irish symbol representing friendship, love and loyalty, left Manhattan at approximately 9:30 am local time on Saturday, after a one-day wake.

Neeson was among the pallbearers for his wife’s coffin at the private service on Sunday afternoon at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Millbrook, N.Y., near the home where they exchanged vows in 1994 and raised their two children.
